That's 1,200 EMAILS, 9:51, from average people in every corner of the state - people who did something besides complain privately or like a post on Facebook. In the political world, those who take the trouble to speak up represent quite a few more who also share their views. Plus, just getting started.

Emails are not nearly indicative of much effort, maybe the use of snail mail would be a better metric to use. Regardless, I look forward to seeing how many more show furtherance beyond a simple email or signing a petition, maybe who donates over $100 to the cause, testifies at a state hearing, or something else of that nature.

Grits, she didn't appear to be asking for you to justify anything. I don't know if the people emailing were average people or not but many in state and federal elected offices take a similar approach. A formal letter is worth a great many emails just as a donation is worth a great many letters, the pecking order established long ago. No need to get testy with her.
